Not fat

When I first went back to work I had an awkward conversation with one of the 13 year old girls on the team. It went a little like this:

Girl: How old is your baby?
Me: 4 months.
Girl: Oh, wow. He is so cute.
Me: Thanks.
Girl: And that's really cool that you aren't like, well, fat anymore.
Me: Oh ... uh ... thanks ... I think.

It was funny.

Fast forward to yesterday when I had the following conversation via text messaging with Andrew (yes, we text each other all day long, we are so in love):

Andrew: You look way different now than you did in those camping pictures. (making reference to the blog post I had just posted here).
Me: Obviously. (I was 8 months pregnant)
Andrew: No, seriously, way different.
Me: Yes.
Andrew: But your face and everything.
Me: I am not fat anymore.
Andrew: Way to go.

Apparently 13 year old girls and 28 year old boys have more in common than I thought.

That's hilarious. But really its awesome that you can even do a post with the title of "Not fat". You are so lucky to be one of "those girls" that loses the weight so fast and effortlessly!! I hope I'm like you when I grow up.
